Hello.. again.
I'm interested and worried about the Phys-Ed tests that are given when you sign up.. basically, I'll be blunt, I'm quite out of shape. I'm about 250 pounds, I don't remember my body fat ratio, but I'm 6'1" - so about 30 pounds or so overweight (atleast according to my dietician).
Now I understand there are basically 4 parts to this.. the 2.4km run, the situps, pushup and the grip test. I'm pretty much worried about all of them, as I'm not very energetic, my stomach feels like it's catching fire after a dozen or two situps and I apparently can't do a pushup to save my life.. so where should I start? Yes, I know the pamphlets and such give good pointers on what to do but I was wondering if anyone out there could give me some personal first-hand advice on what I'll be going up against and what sort of preperation I should take specifically. I'm hoping to start BMQ in Jan/Feb so that gives me roughly 4-5 months to get in (good enough) shape. In your best opinions, should I go for Jan/Feb or wait until next Summer when I can do BMQ and SQ all over 2 straight months?
My original plan is to do the BMQ in Jan/Feb (for reserves), which by my 'calculations' would end in May/June-ish.. just in-time for the summer SQ that I could do in a single straight month.
So.. any advice?
